After Haraki said goodbye to Frank, he headed straight to his office...

"Qichen, aren't you going to Super Laboratory No. 1 today?" Old Goethe asked in confusion when he saw Yuan Shichen pushing the door open.

"I won't go there for the time being these days. Please tell Amanda for me that I will stay in the laboratory for the past two days to collect information."

"Okay, I'm willing to serve you."

"Thank you, Goethe." Then, Harashi-chan seemed to remember something and continued, "The Archives Center should still preserve some old graphic and text materials from Mars exploration decades ago. These materials may not be retained in the computer system. You can apply for it to bring them back."

Looking at the figure of Old Goethe leaving, Yuan Shichen shook his head.

Regarding the next research work on the Neichen meteorite, King Naichen does not want to do it with Amanda and the others for the time being.

In order to avoid embarrassment, he asked Goethe to express his attitude in a tactful manner as an intermediary.

Yuan Hashichen felt that his research ideas were inconsistent with Amanda and others. Amanda and his friends were digging deep into the meteorites, hoping to find more information about ancient life.

But Naichen Yuan felt that he should stretch his hands longer and take faster steps to find the impact location of space meteorites on Mars.

A strong intuition told him that more amazing things were really like waiting for the Earthlings to discover on Mars.

Therefore, when he was talking to Frank, he decisively expressed his views to gain Frank's support for him.

The Earth's interstellar exploration of Mars can be traced back to a century ago.

The formation and evolution of Mars are comparable to that of the Earth. Scientists have speculated that Mars has also had conditions suitable for life survival, so exploring Mars will help us understand more about the history of the Earth.

According to data from the IEA (Interstellar Exploration Alliance), so far, the Earth has launched a total of 36 probes to Mars.

Among them, the successful landing on the Mars surface include: Challenger 1-3, Great Adventure 1-3, Canglong 1-2, Hope, Exclamation Mark, Curiosity, Opportunity, Phoenix and other detectors.

Of course, the IEA organization has also launched many Mars probes, but because of the extremely confidential nature of the IEA organization, these Mars probes were launched for vests in the name of the International Astronomical Joint Organization.

In addition to the IEA organization, the United States is the country with the largest number of Mars probes. It is worth mentioning that China has successfully launched the Canglong 1 and 2 Mars probes in the past decade.

In addition, in the outer space of Mars, dozens of Mars reconnaissance orbital satellites are constantly scanning and observing about 95% of the area on this red planet.

Information collected by artificial satellites in Mars reconnaissance orbit has helped humans to gain a deep understanding of Mars. Scientists have used this observation and research to infer information about some major changes that have taken place in Mars over the past hundreds of millions of years.

To this day, we can still see craters, avalanches, sandstorms, seasonal freezing and dry ice, and salt water penetration in summer on Mars.

In the plan for humans to land on Mars, only the United States' NASA has made practical attempts in recent decades, but it ended in an unexpected situation.

For this purpose, Naochen also specifically consulted some specific actions of the United States' plan to land on Mars.

In 2018, NASA (NASA) began to launch a plan to improve survival astronauts landed on Mars.

Plans include:

In an interstellar mission that lasts more than 700 days, human health and behavioral testing experiments are carried out in situations where astronauts may face risks such as cancer, osteoporosis, and immune problems in a long-term high-radiation environment;

Development of life support systems similar to the cultivation of food and recycling of water on the surface of Mars and in the universe;

Projects such as building 3D printing modules in international transit space stations and spacecrafts.

In 2022, NASA, the United States, built the most powerful launch vehicle "Space Launch System" in history, and successfully launched the new spacecraft "Orion I", completing long-distance interstellar travel experiments.

In 2025, NASA in the United States began to build spacecraft that can live and work on the surface of Mars. This type of spacecraft requires only regular maintenance and can obtain resources for manufacturing fuel, oxygen and building materials from the Martian natural environment to ensure that it supports human life within several years.

On August 22, 2028, NASA in the United States began the world-renowned Mars landing operation.

In the early morning of the same day, the Mars II spacecraft was successfully launched.

Due to the constraints of the scientific level at that time, Earth science and technology could not achieve high-energy consumption "direct" interstellar navigation, nor could it promote spacecraft by launching Mars rovers (Mars rovers can reach Mars in as fast as 6 months).

Therefore, this Mars landing plan chose the "most energy-saving route".

That is, take the sun as the midpoint and enter an elongated orbit around the sun at a rate slightly higher than the second cosmic speed (at this time, the spacecraft can fly in orbit with the help of the sun's gravity, greatly reducing energy consumption). Then fly from the Earth, a long axis quadrant point at one end of the orbit, to Mars on the long axis quadrant point at the other end.

On July 20, 2030, the Mars II spacecraft reached near Mars orbit after nearly two years and was captured by Mars gravity.

Before landing, the Mars II spacecraft first carried out 10 complete orbital flights along the periphery of Mars.

During this period, astronauts collected a large number of extremely precious Martian information images through ultra-high-definition probes on the spacecraft.

Subsequently, during the fourth near-Mars orbit flight, NASA also conducted a landing preview. The Mars II spacecraft launched an unmanned spacecraft to collect samples of several boulders from the surface of Mars and successfully recovered them.

Faced with such a smooth start, the entire Earth thought that this Mars landing plan was about to be completed.

However, the weather did not go as expected, and the surface of Mars was in a sudden state. A sandstorm lasted for three months in the area where the original planned landing site was located. The wind speed of the sandstorm reached more than 180 meters per second (the wind speed of level 12 typhoon was 32.6 meters per second).

Faced with such harsh natural conditions, due to the safety of the spacecraft's return journey, NASA in the United States finally had to end the Mars landing plan with regret.

In the past twenty years, no country or organization has ever tried to land on Mars...
